MOOCA02 | Two Beam Test Stand Experiments in the CTF3 Facility | 29 |
|
||
The CLEX building in the CTF3 facility is the place where essential experiments are performed to validate the Two-Beam Acceleration scheme upon which the CLIC project relies. The Drive Beam enters the CLEX after being recombined in the Delay loop and the Combiner Ring in intense beam trains of 24 A – 150 MeV lasting 140 ns and bunched at 12 GHz, although other beam parameters are also accessible. This beam is then decelerated in dedicated structures installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) and in the Two-Beam Test Stand (TBTS) aimed at delivering bursts of 12 GHz RF power. In the TBTS this power is used to generate a high accelerating gradient of 100 MV/m in specially designed accelerating structures. To assess the performances of these structures a probe beam is used, produced by a small Linac. We reported here the various experiences conducted in the TBTS making use of the versatility the probe beam and of dedicated diagnostics. | ||

TUPC021 | The CLIC Feasibility Demonstration in CTF3 | 1042 |
|
||
The objective of the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 is to demonstrate the feasibility issues of the CLIC two-beam technology: the efficient generation of a very high current drive beam, used as the power source to accelerate the main beam to multi-TeV energies with gradient over 100MeV/m, stable drive beam deceleration over long distances. Results on successful beam acceleration with over 100 MeV/m energy gain are shown. Measurements of drive beam deceleration over a chain of Power Extraction Structures are presented. The achieved RF power levels, the stability of the power production and of the deceleration are discussed. Finally, we overview the remaining issues to be shown until the end of 2011. | ||
WEPC077 | Beam Based Measurements with the Modified Wigglers in DAΦNE | 2196 |
|
||
A novel idea to minimize the odd high order non-linearities in periodic magnets has been presented in other articles in the past. The optimization of this method on the wigglers of the main rings in DAΦNE has been performed by means of multipolar and tracking analysis. After the magnetic measurements on a spare wiggler confirmed the magnetic model used to optimize the DAΦNE wigglers, all the insertion devices in the main rings have been modified accordingly. In fall last year tune variation measurements as a function of closed orbit bumps around the wigglers confirmed the validity of the method. In this paper the beam based measurement results with the new configuration are discussed and compared with those obtained in the previous configurations. | ||
WEPO026 | Advances in the Design of the SuperB Final Doublet | 2454 |
|
||
SuperB is an asymmetric (6.7 GeV HER, 4.18 GeV LER) e+ e− collider operating at the Y(4S) peak with a design peak luminosity of 1036 Hz/cm2 to be built in Italy in the very near future. The design luminosity is almost a factor hundred higher than that of the present generation comparable facilities. To get the design luminosity a novel collision scheme, the so called “large Piwinski angle with crab waist”, has been designed. The scheme requires a short focus final doublet to reduce the vertical beta function down to betay*=0.2 mm at the interaction point (IP). The final doublet will be composed by a set of permanent and superconducting (SC) quadrupoles. The SC quadrupole doublets QD0/QF1 have to be placed as close to the IP as possible. This layout is critical because the space available for the doublets is very small. An advanced design of the quadrupole has been developed, based on the double helical coil concept. The paper discusses the design concept, the construction and the results of test of a model of the superconducting quadrupole based on NbTi technology. Future developments are also presented. | ||
THPC093 | Beam Dynamics Simulations for the SwissFEL Injector Test facility | 3107 |
|
||
The SwissFEL under study at PSI will produce 0.1 nm to 0.7 nm wavelength coherent x-ray. The design of the injector is based on the invariant envelope matching scheme, developed for other photoinjectors in the past years. According to this technique the emittance at the exit of the injector can be minimized if some conditions at the entrance of the booster are satisfied. A campaign of simulations has been carried out to verify the impact of the errors of the machine components (RF and magnetic) and laser shaping (transverse and longitudinal) on the final SwissFEL injector emittance. These results have to be used to define the tolerances on the machine and laser. | ||
THPC095 | Commissioning Status of the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility | 3110 |
|
||
The SwissFEL injector test facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute has been in operation since August 2010. Its primary goal is the demonstration of a high-brightness electron beam as it will be required to drive the SwissFEL main linac. The injector further serves as a platform for the development and validation of accelerator components needed for the SwissFEL project. We give an overview of recent commissioning activities at about 130 MeV beam energy, with particular emphasis on results from optics matching studies and emittance measurements, the latter obtained with different optics-based methods. A five-cell transverse-deflecting cavity allows studies of the longitudinal bunch charge distribution and slice emittance. Bunch length measurements will become the focus of interest after the installation of a magnetic compression chicane, currently scheduled for the summer of 2011. | ||
THPZ003 | The SuperB Project: Accelerator Status and R&D | 3684 |
|
||
The SuperB collider project has been recently approved by the Italian Government as part of the National Research Plan. SuperB is a high luminosity (1036 cm-2 s-1) asymmetric e+e− collider at the Y(4S) energy. The design is based on a “large Piwinski angle and Crab Waist” scheme already successfully tested at the DAΦNE Phi-Factory in Frascati, Italy. The project combines the challenges of high luminosity colliders and state-of-the-art synchrotron light sources, with two beams (e+ at 6.7 and e- at 4.2 GeV) with extremely low emittances and small beam sizes at the Interaction Point. As unique features, the electron beam will be longitudinally polarized at the IP and the rings will be able to ramp down to collide at the tau/charm energy threshold with one tenth the luminosity. The relatively low beam currents (about 2 A) will allow for low running (power) costs compared to similar machines. The insertion of beam lines for synchrotron radiation users is the latest feature included in the design. The lattice has been recently modified to accommodate insertion devices for X-rays production. A status of the project and a description of R&D in progress will be presented. | ||
THPZ004 | DAΦNE Tune-up for the KLOE-2 Experiment | 3687 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11). In its continuous evolution DAΦNE, the Frascati lepton collider, is starting a new run for the KLOE-2 experiment, an upgraded version of the KLOE one. A new interaction region, based on the high luminosity Crab-Waist collision scheme, has been designed, built and installed. Several machine subsystems have been revised according to innovative design concepts in order to improve beam dynamics. Collimators and shieldings have been upgraded in order to minimize the background rates on the detector during coasting as well as injection operation. A wide measurement campaign has been undertaken to verify and quantify the effect of the modifications and to tune-up the collider in view of the 3 years long data-taking foreseen to deliver ~5 fb-1 to the experiment. |
